about

I am far too young to be writing about feeling this old. As it is I happily turned 20, with no 30 preceding.

lyrics

19 going on 30
I'm getting older beyond my years.
I think it's time to save up for a rocking chair
To replace my rocking horse.
Good old Dobbin has

Served it's use
In my youth
Which was lost
With my last baby tooth.

I don't think I'm much wiser
Or that I'm freer than I was before.
Just, now, I'm not any younger than this time yesterday.
I think it might just be time
To change my life which

Served it's use
In my youth
Which was lost
With my last wisdom tooth.

Backache and a prescription
I want to feel young once more.
But I think that I've

Served my use
In my youth
Which was lost
With my first wisdom tooth.

I think I've
Served my use
In my youth
Which was lost
With my last baby tooth.

Despite being a kiwi band the songwriter is actually rather English, so whenever he sings you'd be hard pressed to go "wow, those kiwis huh". Still, New Zealand-ish.

Pronounced Bah-Rabba-Jaggle.
